Bridge Deal of the Week (Aug 10 2007)

Problem:

West   North   East   South
                                 1♦
pass     1♥      pass   2♠
pass     3♥      pass    5♦
all pass

You reach 5♦ with no opposing bidding. West leads the ♣A, East encourages with the ten as you ruff. Plan the play.

Hint:
You have two spade losers and one heart loser. The heart suit offers very little chance; the defense has to hold up just one round to kill the suit. A 3-3 spade break will see you home. Is there any other chance?
